Crossing the Splendid Farmhouse

Chapter 43

Not far away, Tang Meier shouted loudly while standing in the sun valley.

Zhao's Tangqiao, Tang Lier, mother and son, looked at each other and smiled, while speeding up and walking towards the new house.

In Sun Valley Ping, Tang Kun is using bamboo to weave a mat for drying grain.

He didn't study when he was a child, and Mr. Tang sent him to learn crafts from the old bamboo craftsman in the village. The mats, dustpans and rice plugs he weaved were the most popular among the villagers.

Now that we are about to harvest crops, this kind of bamboo woven mats is in the greatest demand.

"Old Tang, it's getting dark soon, so you don't need to do bamboo stick work anymore, it hurts your eyes. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so you should take a rest too."

Perhaps it was the impact of the conversation with Tang Li'er just now on Zhao Shi, but Zhao Shi spoke to Tang Kun gently with a relaxed smile on his face.

Tang Kun hasn't heard Mrs. Zhao call him "Old Tang" easily for several years.

It seems that since the incompatibility with his father-in-law's family, Mrs. Zhao called him "the child's father" forever.Moreover, he couldn't remember when Zhao's face became more and more miserable, and it was rare to see her smile all year round...

But today, could it be that the sun came out from the west?

Tang Kun subconsciously looked up at the sky.

"Father, mother talked to you. Why are you looking up at the sky? Look again, the sun is still in the west, because today the sun is about to set..."

Seeing Tang Kun's dazed look, Tang Li'er couldn't help being funny, and couldn't help but joked.

However, as soon as she said this, Tang Kun and Mrs. Zhao both blushed.

"I'll help your father, why don't you hurry up and cook and eat..."

Mrs. Zhao gave Tang Lier a hard look, and drove Tang Lier to the stove house with a little dissatisfaction.

Tang Qiao very consciously fought along with him.

He is ten years old this year, and he has been learning bamboo craftsman from Tang Kun for two years.Already proficient in breaking bamboo strips and weaving some less complicated bamboo products.

Tang Li'er walked into the stove, Tang Xing'er had already cooked the rice, and cut the meat and green peppers.The beans had already been eaten at noon today, so she picked out a lot of tender sweet potato leaves and stalks, peeled them, washed them and put them aside, waiting for Tang Lier to put them in the pot.

"Chestnut, it's plums. She won't let me cook. She said your fried dishes are more delicious..."

Tang Xing'er spoke with some worry.

After all, the former Tang Li'er didn't want to and couldn't cook.

"Miss Xing'er, it's okay. If I have time in the future, let me fry this dish, and you are responsible for washing the vegetables and lighting the fire."

Tang Li'er didn't seem to notice Tang Xing'er's apprehension, and happily accepted the task of cooking.In modern times, she likes to eat the most, especially prefers to cook some delicious food by herself...

After a while, the smell of cooking had spread to the noses of the three people who were concentrating on their work in Sunguping. Tang Kun couldn't help inhaling the smell of vegetables in the air.

"Dongxiang, do you feel that our chestnuts seem a little different? It seems to have become more lively and capable..."

Tang Kun said this out of a kind of pride of "my family has a girl who has just grown up".

However, Mrs. Zhao had to be careful after all, a look of sadness flashed quickly in her eyes, and then she became relieved.

"Isn't it good that Chestnut is capable? Don't we have another little helper? At least she will take care of all the cooking in the future..."

She smiled slightly.

Thinking of what Tang Lier said when she came back from the cave, that child has not seen her grandparents for several years, so it is hard for her to remember how kind her grandparents were to her at such a young age...

"Father and mother, let's wash our hands and prepare to eat? I don't know why, but when I smell the aroma of stir-fried chestnuts, I feel very hungry and want to eat."

Tang Qiao put down the bamboo knife in his hand, and said in embarrassment.

"Okay, let's eat first. After eating, let's start when the moon shines on the Sun Valley Ping. I think, if we are quick, maybe we can weave a mattress in one night..."

Tang Kun looked at the smile on Zhao's face, and listened to Tang Qiao's coquettish words, and suddenly felt that he seemed to have endless energy.He didn't know why Zhao suddenly changed his attitude towards him, but he thanked her for this change.

This change in her made him suddenly feel that life is still full of sunshine...

Even though the dinner is simple, there is only a big bowl of stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers, two bowls of stir-fried sweet potato sticks, and a big bowl of bones and soybean soup left over from lunch today.And of course, a pot full of white rice.

It's just a few simple things, but because Tang Lier's stir-fry is so delicious, the whole family is full of happiness.

"If you can eat so well and be full every day, how wonderful it would be..."

Tang Meier held her round belly, her voice was full of yearning.

"Meizi, you are too full tonight, you can't eat mooncakes anymore. Otherwise, your stomach will feel uncomfortable."

Tang Lier looked at Tang Meier amusedly, but said mercilessly.

"Sister Chestnut, Sister Chestnut, I drank less soup than Meizi. Can I eat mooncakes?"

Tang Jie didn't care that Tang Meier suddenly turned into a mournful face, and hurriedly said to Tang Lier.Fortunately, he gave up the last bowl of soup to Meizi...

"Xiaojie, you have eaten a lot. However, both of you can walk around in the sun valley. If your belly is not as round as it is now when we eat mooncakes, I will let you eat alone. A little mooncake."

After all, Tang Lier couldn't bear to see them disappointed, but she was afraid that they would accumulate food, so she couldn't help thinking of a compromise.

When Tang Jie and Tang Meier heard this, they immediately cheered, and then the two brothers and sisters began to play games in Shaiguping.

The new house and the old house were only separated by a dense bamboo forest. The night wind blew Tang Jie and Tang Meier's cheerful laughter into the ears of Wu Shi and Tang Ling.

"Mother, they are all going to live in a cave. Why are Tang Jie and Tang Meier smiling so happily? Are they not afraid at all?"

Tang Ling was in a bad mood.

She was blamed by Mrs. Wu for not getting her things in the new house, and Mr. Tang said a few words for her behavior of going to the new house to get things, and she was very dissatisfied.She felt that all her unlucky things were related to Tang Kun's family...

That's why she felt very heartbroken when she heard Tang Jie and Tang Meier's laughter...

"A beggar plays the flute, poor and happy."

Wu pursed her lips in disdain, but a complex emotion surged in her heart.

She didn't know how many years she hadn't heard such a spontaneous and happy laughter from Tang Kun.Could it be that being kicked out of the new house by her and living in a cave is such a happy thing in the hearts of Tang Kun's family?

"Mom, I hate when they laugh like that..."

Tang Ling spoke arrogantly and unreasonably.

She is not happy, why are those little beggars in Xinwu so happy?
"Reiko, don't worry. Wait a while and see if they can still smile..."
